Support INI

The Institute depends upon donations as well as research grants, to support the world class research undertaken by participants in its programmes. The needs are diverse:

towards travel and subsistence

for flexible housing accommodation for participants (which is at a premium in Cambridge)

for Visiting Professors or Visiting Fellows

for early career researchers – a small donation will enable them to spend a week at the Institute with leaders in the field

to enhance gender balance and diversity in participation

for specific workshops

and above all, so that the Scientific Steering Committee has the freedom to select the best programmes across all of mathematics and its applications, spanning astrophysics to zoology, including bio- and medical-sciences, climate change, cosmology, elementary particles & string theory, and quantitative finance

Fundraising activities are supported by a Development Board comprising leading figures in academia, industry and commerce.

The Institute has developed a number of Case Studies which highlight the breadth of impact and the pervasive value of the mathematical sciences including economic or social benefit and influence on government policy.

How to Donate

US tax payers may donate to Cambridge in America, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organisation and qualify for an income tax deduction. You can give direct or find further guidance at Cambridge in America giving. Please state when making your gift that you would like your donation to support the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences.

The University has charitable status and so donations made to it or its constituent parts, including the Institute, may attract tax relief. For UK tax payers this is available under Gift Aid.

Trinity College (through the Isaac Newton Trust) has committed more than £2 million over the lifetime of the Institute. St John's College, which owns the Institute's building, provided a rental subsidy of £750,000 to cover most of the first 5 years' rent. The building has now been leased to the University of Cambridge, which allows the Institute to use it rent-free.
